Hi my name is Long. I am a fourth year Interior Design student at Toronto Metropolitan University. My design care about making spaces that feel meaningful and work well for people. In school I have worked on studio projects and case studies with physical models to test ideas. I learned spatial planning material study and visual storytelling and it make me believe interiors can shape how people feel and connect to eachother. In my idea, a space can hold a story through light form and detail if both concept and technical drawings are strong enough to speak it self. I stay open to feedback and new ideas. I pay attention to small things. As I move into professional practice I want to collaborate and keep learning. I hope to create spaces that people remember.

01 Vussible

Location: 1655 Dupont Street, Toronto, ON, CA M6P 3S9 Fall 2025

This project began with a simple observation. The area around 1655 Dupont Street lacks places for people to truly gather. The climate in Canada is long and cold. Public life often moves indoors. Yet many indoor spaces feel temporary or commercial rather than a Third Place.

I wanted to create a place that feels “Embrace”. A space that responds to physical cold with spatial warmth.

The Concept

This project is design based on the idea of Vessel as Crucible. A Vessel holds while a crucible show the heat. The design become a chamber that hold people and the atmosphere reveal the intensity within the space.

The Development

Begins with multiple circles placed across the space. Each circle represents a core of gathering within the building. They are positioned around the plan so no single center dominates.

As the circles press against one another new curves begin to form. The leftover arcs become the walls that hold people inside. These curved edges create a sense of enclosure and embrace rather than separation.

The spaces between the circles become circulation. They guide movement naturally from one core to the next. The plan grows from how these circles relate, overlap and contain.

Confluence

Location: 16361 Fran Laflamme Dr, Long Sault, ON, CA K0C 1P0 Spring 2025

The Lost Villages were ten communities flooded in 1958 during the construction of the St. Lawrence Seaway. The rising water changed the land. Today the Lost Villages Museum brings these buildings together. It keeps the memory of the communities that once stood by the river. My design responds to this history. It focuses on gathering. It creates a space that reconnects past and present through stories.

The cafe at the Lost Villages Museum acts as a bridge between past and present. It connects history to daily life today.

It sits near the center of the site. It links to the heritage buildings around it. This shows continuity and change.

Each space supports connection. The cafe recalls the old general store as a place to gather. The washrooms reflect the simple form of the corn crib. The kitchen takes cues from the blacksmith shop where craft met daily life.

The cafe is more than a place to eat. It offers a moment to reflect. Visitors can think about preservation and progress. They can think about loss and rebirth. Stories meet here. History is not only remembered. It is lived in the present. The legacy of the Lost Villages continues through this space.

The wavy fabric on the ceiling reflects the movement of water that submerged the villages. The water carried what remained into one shared place. It shows how pieces of buildings memories and lives came together instead of disappearing.

Inside the cafe this form invites people to gather in the same way. Visitors enter and pause. They share a drink under the flowing surface. Memory stays above. Daily life continues below.

Shades of Comfort

Location: Hanoi, Vietnam Summer 2025

This project is a personal study of composition light and atmosphere using 3ds Max and Corona. I recreated a bedroom inspired by MJ Designworks. I focused on how light shapes mood and space.

I explored how balance texture and lighting work together to form a calm space. The process helped me practice furniture modeling and rendering skills. It also strengthened my sense of spatial experience.

I chose Corona Renderer for its realistic light and material control. It let me test texture reflection and shadow to create a natural atmosphere. With Corona I could study how light touches each surface.This helped build depth and mood in the bedroom. The process improved my rendering skills. It also deepened my understanding of spatial ambiance.

My rendering focuses on a cozy and restful mood. Warm light and soft textures make the space feel calm. The room feels comfortable and quiet. Dark marble sits against muted fabric. This contrast adds depth and balance. Soft light touches each surface. It reveals layers and material. Light and texture work together to shape a peaceful space.
